IMO nobody said STs could handle shearing better than LTs. They both need full pressure to be best at that. All anybody said somewhere AFAIK was that STs are built to take more weight for their own size. (snipped)
Actually, since STs don't carry passengers (yes, I know it's legal to do so in a FW, but now many really do?), they get away with inflated load ratings because there is little to no safety margin on them, as there is with LTs.
